What's your guys thoughts on virtual flagging? Sounds like Lincoln Speedway in PA. is implementing that in 2024. It sounds like they've already tried at the Ice Breaker

How about a virtual promoter?
I think it is awesome (safety issue) for tracks that can afford to do it.
Not a fan of it, times change though. Virtual flagging will never produce another Dave Farney.
Dave farney is the best. I grew up watching him when I lived up north watching BB MODS . He get into his racing and is loved by all the racersQuote:

have seen a few great flagmen over the years. some not so great.
the best part of the idea is safety. seen several have to scramble looking for shelter from cars and debris with nowhere to hide.
I doubt many drivers are looking at the flagman anyway. I remember when they would walk onto the track to get everyone in line and when they had the b@lls to get out the black flag.
A virtual flagging system that is black flag happy!!!! hahaha
I give this post a big THUMBS UP ! !Quote:
